8 MONTHS -90 POUNDS - YA!



Recommended Posts

8 months post-op on 6/11/13 - down 90 pounds. While this sounds like a lot, the loss has slowed down considerably the past 4 months, or so(down 2 up 1.5, down 3, up 1, etc., etc.) Since I've made it to onderland, its been hard to get below 190. Finally at 90 pounds lost total (since pre-op last August), weighin in at 188 on 6/11/13, I am nearing my 100 pound goal. Hope everyone is doing well. I feel and look younger than I have in years! It's been hard, but so worth it! Happy summer and last day of school (I work in an Elementary School office) - yipee! :)

I am a food addict. Post-op, I found holes in my day that I used to fill with my food obsession (cooking. Food shopping, reading recipes, searching on line for recipes, etc.) as well as eating way too much. Now I am focusing on doing stuff not stuffing me! It's very hard on days when I would typically turn to food for comfort. I really can't binge eat at all. When I eat too much, I'm very uncomfortable/in pain- it's how you feel you feel overfull and sick so you throw up, only you can't throw up, the stomach is too small and if wont let you purge. The food just comes up your throat-horrid! One day at a time!

Holly, thank u for posting. Wow eye opener for me, i never thought abt the food obsession stuff. Sounds like what i do/did.

I've become aware that i cant watch cooking shows, look at food related magazines, etc or it sets me off. Thanks for your honesty and for sharing. I'll be much more aware now.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
